A Quiet Walk on Cape Clear

Scottish Skyline: From Spires to Bridges
A beautiful sunset pictured from our apartment in Edinburgh a few weeks ago. The weather was glorious that week! It hardly rained at all!

A Burst of Yellow in Edinburgh Traffic
A yellow bus following a yellow Tesla taxi caught my eye on the streets of Edinburgh recently. Most of the Teslas I saw there were white! A bold move by the taxi driver. I wonder if they have the “I bought it before Elon went crazy” bumper sticker on the back. I presume not. Elon…

A Selfie with Deacon Brodie
What! You’re looking at your phone! I imagine Deacon Brodie would be amazed at technology today.

Through the Window: Edinburgh Reflections
A single, solitary table inside an empty office. A glass jar sits on the table, waiting for the next business to come and rent the room. Maybe a parting gift from the previous occupant? Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 16000 Shutter speed 1/500s
